چکیده
The aim of this paper was to study the effects of die life through shot peening treatments on AISI H13 steel, and tests were performed to study the influential parameters of the shot peening process. To evaluate the effects of microstructure and the die life of AISI H13 steel after steel shot peening processes, we conducted and evaluated roughness tests, micro hardness and wear tests, and SEM microstructure inspections. The shot peening process was conducted under a pneumatic peening machine. Experimental results showed that 0.3mm steel shots and 30 minutes at 451 kPa of shot peening treatment was optimum for AISI H13 steel for improving wear resistance and the die life of steel. It enhanced the surface hardness to HV 561 and extended ability of the limit wear resistance for AISI H13 steel. Dislocation microstructure emerged on the steel surface by shot peening. In particular, this technology has been successfully applied to forging die, and is able to improve and extend the die life of steel 2 to 3 times. [doi:10.2320/matertrans.MER2007622]

Side Effects of Shot Peening on Fatigue Crack Initiation Life
Shot peening beneficial effects on fatigue life of mechanical components are well known. However, there are some reports in the literature that indicate inappropriate shot peening parameters tend to reduce the fatigue life. It is therefore, the purpose of this study to find a logical quantitative justification for these observations. Using finite element method, a dynamic elastic-plastic simula...
متن کاملStudy and Simulation of Shot peening Effect on Fatigue Life of a Powder Forged Connecting rod
Shot peening applies a residual compressive stress field (RCSF) on the surface of parts. It also shifts “crack nucleation sites” to sub-surface locations. A nondestructive method of measuring the stresses, Sin2ψ was utilized here and the stress values introduced to Ansys software. For this purpose, uniform stress in all directions was applied on the con rod. Loading on the rod in Ansys had thre...
متن کاملFatigue Life of Repaired Welded Tubular Joints
In this study, the effect of repair on fatigue life of tubular joints is investigated. Six cracked specimens precedently subjected to fatigue loading undergone to weld repair. Two of those specimens were shot peened before primary fatigue loading. It is shown that repair gives rise to about 150% increase in fatigue life for original specimens while the increase of fatigue life for shot-peened ...
متن کاملShot Peening as an Alternative to Fatigue Life Improvement of CK45 Steel Coated with an Electroless Ni-Cu-P
The effect of an electroless Ni-Cu-P coating on the fatigue behavior of quenched and tempered CK45 steel has been investigated. The fatigue tests under rotating bending conditions have been conducted in three different conditions of uncoated, as-deposited and shot peened prior to the coating deposition. The results indicate that plating of the base steel leads to a fatigue life reduction. The d...
متن کاملEffect of Shot Peening on the Fatigue Behaviour of Cast Magnesium A 8
Shot peening is known to improve the fatigue performance of structural metallic materials. The improvement in fatigue life is derived primarily from compressive residual stresses that are introduced into the near-surface of the components and which hinder crack initiation and growth. Magnesium alloys are finding increasing use in automotive applications, but their relatively low strength means ...
